Good luck! I remember chigger bites..... my gramma and mom said they buried into the skin and they painted them with clear nail polish. It was supposed to suffocate them, but in truth I guess it just kept the air from getting to the tiny wound and that stopped the itching? I know what you mean about loving the fresh air and open fields. I was mowing this morning and enjoying the shape of the hackberry tree that has been here since before we were, along with the tall evergreen that lightning took out the top, and the fields all around me. I was going to take my camera out and get a picture, but I got sidetracked when I realized I had lost my wedding ring! I've taken my shower and still very depressed, so no pictures today. Sure hope you get feeling better with all those bites. When I get several mosquito bites, I get sick to my stomach. Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

When you get to feeling up to it, I would love to see some pictures.

Had to google 'chiggers'. Members of spider/mite family. My sympathies, here's hoping for relief asap from the terrible itching! Calamine lotion doesn't help soothe the itch albeit briefly? Antihistamines and cold compresses were also recommended. Good luck!

I hate dealt with chiggers all of my life. From Boy Scout camping trips, to my Army days, to fossil hunting and beyond. Chiggers are a part of life in the south. In Florida there are sand fleas, probably the same critter. The more you scratch them more they itch so the more you scratch and the...well, you get the picture. Fossil

I have been advised that the name "chiggers" is not politically correct. They are now to be identified as "Cheegroes," or you can expect a visit from Loretta Lynch and her incompetent FBI director, James Homey. Fossil

I'd just cut enough around the area for a fire break, then if the wind was still, light a match and bingo! No grass, no bugs. lol Judgment Day will be interesting - and all paths lead there.

I wonder if chiggers are anything like mosquitoes and are selective about who they like to bite? I seldom get bit by anything while one of my daughters gets eaten alive. I read that the "appeal" may be related to blood type. I am A, she is O. Spiritwoman ^i^
